Hi,I'm new to mn and have been reading a few posts that have set alarm bells ringing.
I have been married 10 years and have 3 children , we have been renovating a house that my husband has left half finished so that has caused a lot of stress.
I get really fed up of the house and do go on a bit his response has varied from trying to intimidate me to throwing things,threatening me etc.
I have tried not to nag about stuff but it is getting me down and i have told him this , he says he will do more but then never does, he may do a few hours on a weekend and thats it and we can't afford to get others in.
I spend all my time sorting the kids out taking them to various activities etc while most of the time on a weekend hes at home on computer or watching
tv .
When we argue about this he says i'm messed up in the head etc and says i have too much time on my hands , i gave up work to look after the children and have recently started my own business.
I dont really have much of a sex drive anymore as i'm tired and stressed , this is a huge issue for him and he has massive tantrums the last time he physically attacked me, kicking me.
Obviously i know that isn't normal but it's not an everyday thing , i guess what i'm wondering is can things return to normal after this or is this how it all starts?
Thanks if you managed to read all this .
